Last EuroMillions Draw of August

Last Updated: Tuesday 30th August 2011, 11:18 am

The last EuroMillions draw of August takes place tonight (Tuesday 30 August) and for those of you who haven’t heard, it’s a whopper! The jackpot has rolled over in each of the last eight draws and will be worth around £86,000,000. If a single player wins that amount outright then it will be quite an achievement, but even if several players were to match five main numbers and two Lucky Star numbers they would each pick up enough cash to change their lives forever – and certainly enough to put a smile on their faces throughout the autumn and winter months!

As always, the only thing standing between anyone who wants to win millions and the actual achievement of that goal is the ability to match the seven numbers required. The odds of doing that are approximately 1 in 116.5 million, but there are 13 prize levels in all and the odds of winning any prize are therefore a much more encouraging 1 in 13. And of course, those odds are based on a player entering just one line of numbers – if you buy several tickets then your odds of winning will obviously increase to reflect that fact.

One of the things that makes lottery participation so enjoyable is that is allows us to imagine what life could be like if we were lucky enough to win. Such dreams of lottery success are statistically difficult to realise, but month after month a handful of lucky players manage to beat the odds and there is no reason why you shouldn’t be one of the next big winners. That being the case, how might winning the £86 million EuroMillions jackpot enable you to change your life over the next few months and years?

Some people reading this article would quit work on the spot and head off to warmer climes just as soon as the jackpot cash landed in their bank account. Others would choose to continue to work because they enjoy doing so. Still others would take a short break to give their future plans some serious thought before deciding on what to do with the rest of their lives.

So, what will you do if your EuroMillions numbers come up tonight? Enjoy the luxury of making some preliminary plans because if you play EuroMillions online and you get the results you need, you might actually need them!
